    Great experience! Really enjoyed it, all together got three free drinks one before and 2 during the ice bar. When in cologne a need to do!

    Lovely little bar but the actual I e Bar was tiny compared with others visited. Drink glasses were smaller too, but the drinks were nice. The cocktails in the warm bar were amazing and worth it. Not the best one, but an experience to have had, all the same.

    Disappointing

    Catriona_H, Jan 2026
    Took the booking, place was locked up and shut. No communication, call or email to advise. Very disappointing.

    Unique but nothing exceptional

    Imagine you are inside 20ft container - that’s how big the ice bar is. There were more than 15 people in it, with 1 or 2 ice sculptures and a small bar table - you hardly can move around.

    Poor experience - not worth the visit

    Paul_M, Dec 2025
    This experience was not what we thought it was going to be at all. Was extremely disappointed by the whole experience. Not much atmosphere, lack of variety of drinks. Our first drink we had to leave half full as it was not allowed in the ice bar. The ticket stayed an hour and a half experience but we left after 20 mins. Not worth the money or the journey to the place. A lot of the reviews don’t match the experience.

    Give it a miss!

    Very shabby place, done on the cheap! Barman in ice ‘shed’ was lovely though. Cocktail lounge was poor. Our ticket from Viator said 9:30 to 11:00 but we were asked to leave at 10:18. Initially didn’t want to serve us as we arrived at 9:40 and told we were too late to be served as they were closing! I pointed out that we were late as I had tripped on an uneven pavement and cut my hands, which were bleeding and thus granted access! A really uninspiring ice bar I’m sorry to say.

    I would highly recommend taking a rickshaw to the destination. The cathedrahl was about halfway from river. Shots of liquer were so yummy! It was about - 16 degrees celsius. Who had the bright idea of partying in a freezer anyway?! Fun! Would do it again.

    Great time with family!...

    Great time with family! The boat was clean and the scenery was amazing. Well worth the value of the ticket.

    Ice Fridge

    Been to several IceBars, however this is more an Ice Fridge, clearly designed for smaller people! Disappointing and poor quality of drinks. Trying to find a positive, nope can’t find one.

    My ice bar experience

    Ross_H, Oct 2024
    I had a good time, however the bar where the room is frozen wasn’t as big as I anticipated, but the member of staff was really helpful dmd friendly. There was a block of ice with holes in it so you could try and kick a football through it which was fun. I personally would recommend it!

    Exceptional

    Great to hear these nice words.

    Unique experience

    Unique experience. Something fun to try. Friendly staff serving drinks. Worth trying once if you are in Cologne.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Thnak you for your review.

    Good value, fun experience with great staff.

    Susan_B, Jun 2024
    The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is only a small ice bar but we enjoyed the experience and it is good value for money as you get 2 drinks in the ice bar and then we opted to have our 3rd drink in the bar afterwards. There was a good choice of drinks. It was a fun experience.

    Disappointing

    Tracey_B, Jan 2024
    Quite disappointing. A little like a garden shed with lots of ice a few lights! Nice drinks in the lodge though!

    Cool experience

    Deanna_C, Dec 2023
    This was something really cool to do. You have a cocktail before your session time and then you have 2 more drinks inside the Ice Bar.

    Cool super experience

    Anna_H, Sep 2025
    Small and cozy. Very friendly staff. Three free drinks 1 in the hot area 2 in the ice area.

    À faire une fois pour le fun… habillez-vous assez bien car rien reçu à l’entrée comme prévu. Ni gants ni veste

    Gezellige bar met een coole ervaring!

    Mirella_G, Oct 2024
    Leuke bar met heerlijke cocktails, nadien in een ruime koelcel bij -18..bbrrrrr, mooie ijsbeeldjes en lekkere shotjes of bier. Vriendelijk personeel en veel uitleg. Stel je dit niet voor als de ice bar in Amsterdam, maar gewoon als een hele koude ervaring! Heel gezellig!
